Just a guesstiment,but it seems like the tubing is more like 1/16" ID. You can buy a tubing kit for a mechanical oil pressure gauge at any auto parts for $5-10 that will work fine.

I did mine not long ago and believe it is 1/8" tubing. If not the gauge should come with instructions.

Depending on where you ordered you might get the tubing kit with the guage.

I used the plastic tubing kit that you can get at nearly any auto parts store for a mechanical oil pressure guage. I think it's 1/8" tubing.

I also believe it is 1/8" line. I installed mine last weekend. I run 5/16" from the intake manifold to the gauge first. I then run the 1/8" through the 5/16" so the 5/16" was used as a sleeve for the 1/8" line. Eliminated the chance of kinking the 1/8" line and protects it from vibration and wear.
